'Wet the hair, then wash it twice with a non-sulphate shampoo. The first shouldn't create much lather but the second one will give a lot more,' Florey told The Independent.

Claiming that the simple act of washing your hair twice with a rinse in between can literally transform your tresses.

'The hair will become a lot stronger, shinier and healthier,' he says, noting that it could take up to a few months for the effects to be noticeable.

It's particularly important if you use a lot of product in your hair, as the first wash will remove residue and dirt, while the second go will ensure the shampoo's nourishing ingredients can actually work their magic!

As for how much shampoo you actually need, Florey says you're probably using more than you should... All you need is a 20p-piece-sized dollop apparently!

Well, if it's going to make our hair healthier and shinier, you can bet we're willing to give it a go!
